Frequently Asked Questions
What does ±5% tolerance mean for a 1M ohm resistor?
The actual resistance can be up to 5% above or below the marked value, so roughly 950,000 to 1,050,000 ohms.
What does the 1/2W rating mean?
It is the most power the resistor should dissipate continuously as heat. Keep the power in your circuit (current squared times resistance) below 0.5 W, ideally with some margin.
What color bands identify 1M ohm, 5%?
Under the standard 4-band resistor color code, 1M ohm ±5% reads brown-black-green-gold.
